Hi, I’m Dawn Mancuso, artist and founder of A Little Hello Co.—a watercolor and design studio based in Central Florida.

With degrees in design and photography (and culinary, too), I spent decades working in the fast-paced world of marketing for companies like Disney, Tupperware, and Universal. But like so many, when the pandemic hit, I lost my corporate job. To stay creative, I stepped away from computer-generated art and started painting with watercolor every day. Soon, what began as a personal creative outlet quickly grew into something much larger.

As the world emerged from lockdown, I started selling my paintings at local farmers markets and galleries. The overwhelming demand for art prints, greeting cards, notebooks, and stickers led me to expand into handmade stationery. By 2024, I had grown again, launching a collection of planners, notepads, and tools designed to help you stay organized, inspired, and deeply connected.

Every product you see—from planners and notepads to stickers, notecards, and wall calendars—begins with an original watercolor painting and a whole lot of intention. I craft each piece with the hope that it brings a touch of beauty to your everyday and a little reminder to pause and reconnect, whether through a handwritten note or a well-planned day.

My mission is simple: to create thoughtfully designed tools that help you make space for life’s little joys and big moments alike. Whether you’re sending a quick “thinking of you” or organizing your week, I’m honored to be a small part of your story.

Thank you for being here and for choosing A Little Hello. Here’s to finding beauty in the little things and making each “hello” a bit more meaningful.

-Dawn
